AGENDA ITEM NO. 2

REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE COMMUNITY AND SENIOR SERVICES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-31 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST

COVINA, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING A NEW DAY AND TIME FOR REGULAR MEETINGS OF

THE COMMUNITY AND SENIOR SERVICES COMMISSION
BACKGROUND:

Section 2-66 of Article III of Chapter 2 of the West Covina Municipal Code ("WCMC") establishes three advisory commissions: the Community and Senior Services Commission, consisting of ten members, the Human Resources Commission, consisting of five members, and the Planning Commission, consisting of five members.

Pursuant to Section 2-71(a) of Article III of Chapter 2 of the WCMC, each commission, except for the Planning Commission, which is required to meet twice per month, is required to meet at least once every other month on a day and at a time determined by the commission and approved by resolution of the City Council.

On June 19, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-39, providing that, commencing in July 2012, meetings of the Community and Senior Services Commission would be held on the second Tuesday of every other month at 6:00 p.m.

DISCUSSION:

Pursuant to direction provided by the City Council on February 17, 2026 and in order to allow for maximum participation by members of the Community and Senior Services Commission (the "Commission") and reduce the need to cancel meetings due to a lack of quorum, City staff surveyed members of the Commission to determine whether there is a more suitable day for Commission meetings.

A Staff Report titled “Consideration of a Change in Day and Frequency for the Community and Senior A Staff Report titled “Consideration of a Change in Day and Frequency for the Community and Senior Services Commission Meeting” was placed on the agenda for the Commission's March 25, 2026 Special Meeting. The report (Attachment No. 2) outlined the following options:

Change the regular meeting date from the second Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. every other month to Wednesdays every other month at 6:00 p.m.;
Change the regular meeting date from the second Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. every other month to Wednesdays every month at 6:00 p.m., with no meetings in July and December; Retain the current meeting schedule; or
Provide alternative direction.

After a discussion took place, a motion was made to change the regular meeting schedule from the second Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. every other month to the second Wednesdays of every month at 6:30 p.m., with no meetings in July and December. The motion carried with a 7–3 vote. Based on the input received from the Commission, staff believes approval of the proposed new day and time will allow meetings to proceed with better participation and reduce the likelihood of cancellations due to a lack of quorum.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options:

Approve staff's recommendation and change the meeting date and time of the regularly scheduled meeting from the second Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. of every other month to the second Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m., except in the months of July and December;

1. 2. Retain the current meeting time; or

3. Provide alternative direction.

City Council adopted Resolution No. 5682 in 1978, establishing that meetings of all City Boards and Commissions created by Ordinance or Resolution shall commence at 7:30P.M. on the regularly scheduled meeting day.

At the October 10, 2006, meeting of the Community Services Commission, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that it approve a modification of the meeting time to 6:30P.M. to accommodate a more convenient meeting time for attendees.

City Council Resolution 2006-90, adopted on November 7, 2006, specified that the Community Services Commission meeting was to be held at 6:30P.M. In March 2012, the Community Services and Senior Citizens Commission were consolidated into the Community and Senior Services Commission.

At the May 8, 2012, meeting of the Community and Senior Services Commission, the Commission voted to recommend to the City Council to approve changing the meeting time frame from 6:30P.M. to 6:00P.M. to accommodate a more convenient meeting time for attendees.

DISCUSSION:

In order to allow for maximum participation by the commissioners of the Community and Senior Services Commission and to reduce the need to cancel meetings due to lack of quorum, City Staff is recommending a change to the current meeting schedule. The City Staff conducted a survey of the Commission and have determined that Wednesdays are more suitable for commission members. City staff is asking the Commission to consider the options that are presented to them in this report in order to provide a recommendation to the City Council at the City Council Meeting of April 7, 2026.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 3

INSURANCE AUTHORITY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council appoint Mayor Lopez-Viado as Director, and Mayor Pro Tem Cantos and Finance Director Karen Ogawa as alternates to represent the City on the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (CJPIA) Board of Directors and direct staff to execute and submit the Certification of Director and Alternate(s) to CJPIA.

BACKGROUND:

The City has been a member of the CJPIA risk management pool for the CJPIA’s Excess Liability, Excess Workers’ Compensation and Property Insurance Programs since May 2020.

In accordance with the Joint Powers Agreement, the CJPIA is governed by a Board of Directors that is composed of one representative Director from each member, who must be selected from the legislative body of that member. The Joint Powers Agreement also requires that each legislative body appoint at least one alternate who must be an officer or employee of the member. The alternate has the authority to attend, participate in, and vote at any meeting of the Board of Directors when the regular Director for whom he or she is an alternate is absent from such meeting. Having a Board of Directors composed of representatives from each member ensures that the interests and needs of all members are represented in its governance.

Each July, the entire Board of Directors attends an annual business meeting. At the annual meeting, the President and Vice President of the CJPIA and other members of the Executive Committee are elected, reports of the affairs of the CJPIA are considered, and any other business may be transacted which is within the powers of the Board of Directors.

Most recently, in April 2025, the City Council appointed Mayor Tony Wu as Director and Councilmember Brian Gutierrez and Assistant Finance Director Maria -Luisa Olea as alternates to represent the City.

DISCUSSION:

Each year, the CJPIA asks members to certify their designated CJPIA Director and Alternate(s) prior to the Annual Board of Directors meeting. Staff recommends the City's appointments be updated to reflect the current City Council organization. As outlined above, the City's appointment of a Director must be a member of the City Council; the alternate may be a City Council member or a staff member.

Staff recommends that the City Council appoint Mayor Lopez-Viado as Director and Mayor Pro Tem Cantos and Finance Director Karen Ogawa as alternates to represent the City, as outlined in the Certification of Director and Alternates(s) (Attachment No. 1).

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed this staff report.

DATE: April 7, 2026
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Milan Mrakich, Acting City Manager
SUBJECT: EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO FIRE STATION 3 AND APPROVAL OF CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH SUNSHINE PACIFIC GROUP AMERICA, INC.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

Adopt the following resolution by a four-fifths (4/5) vote:

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-32 - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST

COVINA, CALIFORNIA, FINDING, BY A FOUR-FIFTHS VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THAT AN EMERGENCY EXISTS AT FIRE STATION 3 WHICH WILL NOT PERMIT THE COMPETITIVE

SOLICITATION OF BIDS AND DIRECTING AND AUTHORIZING THE ACTING CITY MANAGER

TO CAUSE EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED AND TO TAKE ANY DIRECTLY

RELATED AND IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED BY THE EMERGENCY
BACKGROUND:

Fire Station 3 is an aging facility that has experienced ongoing deterioration due to age and deferred capital improvements. Recently, staff identified a significant rodent and rat infestation within the building. The infestation has resulted in unsanitary and unsafe conditions, including contamination risks, structural intrusion, and degradation of living quarters. These conditions directly impact the habitability of the station and the health and safety of firefighters assigned to the facility.

Public Contract Code section 1102 defines an “emergency” as “a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services.” Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050(a)(1), in the case of an emergency, the City pursuant to a four-fifths vote of the City Council, may repair or replace a public facility, take any directly related and immediate action required by that emergency, and procure the necessary equipment, services, and supplies for those purposes, without giving notice for bids to let contracts.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050(a)(2), before the City Council takes any action pursuant to paragraph (1), it shall make a finding, based on substantial evidence set forth in the minutes of its meeting, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that the action is necessary to respond to the emergency.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code section 22050(c), if the City Council orders emergency repairs, the City Council is required to review the emergency action at its next regularly scheduled meeting and at every regularly scheduled meeting thereafter until the action is terminated, to determine, by a four-fifths vote, that there is a need to continue the action, and to terminate the action at the earliest possible date that conditions warrant so that the remainder of the emergency action may be completed by a competitive solicitation for bids.

DISCUSSION:

The conditions at Fire Station 3 constitute an emergency because:

The rodent infestation poses immediate health and sanitation risks The building conditions are unsafe and unsuitable for occupancy Firefighters are being exposed to hazardous living and working conditions Delay caused by competitive bidding would prolong exposure to unsafe conditions and increase damage and cost
Due to the severity of the infestation and the deteriorating condition of the building, immediate corrective action is required to restore safe and habitable conditions.

The emergency work includes, but is not limited to:

Rodent and pest abatement and exclusion
Removal of contaminated materials
Removal of dilapidated ceiling tiles, kitchen cabinetry and flooring Sanitation and decontamination
Repair of structural and building system damage
Restoration of living and operational areas
Mitigation work to prevent future inhabitability issues Sunshine Pacific Group America Inc. has been identified as a qualified contractor with the appropriate licenses and certifications and has provided a quote in the amount of $121,132.94.

The emergency conditions at Fire Station 3 require immediate action to protect the health, safety, and welfare of City personnel. Additional mitigation efforts are part of the work as the removal and restoration of the living quarters require replacement of material and bringing the facility up to current standards. This will prevent future occurrences of contamination.

Staff is recommending that the City Council determine that the rodent infestation at Fire Station 3 constitutes an emergency as defined by Public Contract Code section 1102, that the emergency will not permit a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and that immediate action is necessary to respond to the emergency. Staff is also recommending that the Council direct and authorize the City Manager to cause emergency repairs to be performed at Fire Station 3 and take any directly related and immediate action required by the emergency, including, but not limited to, executing any agreements for the emergency repairs and any necessary amendments to such agreements, in a form approved by the City Attorney.

Approval of the resolution will allow the City to promptly address these conditions and restore safe operations.

Staff will return to the City Council as required to continue authorization of the emergency work until completion.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 5

ALTERNATE SIDES ON ALTERNATE DAY SWEEPING
RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council provide direction.

BACKGROUND:

The City of West Covina provides street sweeping services for approximately 463 curb miles of roadway through a contract with a third-party vendor, Nationwide Environmental Services. Street sweeping is an essential public service that removes trash and debris, maintains the cleanliness and appearance of the community, and supports compliance with regional water and air quality regulations.

Community meetings were held on June 12, 17, and 26, 2023, as well as on October 19, 2023, to discuss potential changes to the City’s existing street sweeping program.

On November 7, 2023, staff presented an update on the program to the City Council for consideration.

Due to additional information requested, the item was tabled and later brought back to Council on December 5, 2023. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to transition from a bi-weekly street sweeping schedule to a weekly schedule. The Council also directed staff to update the Municipal Code, install signage restricting parking during designated four-hour street sweeping windows, and expand the responsibilities of Public Safety (formerly Code Enforcement) to include street sweeping enforcement.

This enforcement ensures that streets and curbs remain accessible to sweepers so that the program can operate effectively.

On October 15, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract to a third-party vendor for the installation of new street sweeping signs in the amount of $351,095.00, with a 15% contingency ($52,664.25), for a total project budget of $403,759.25. The Council also authorized staff to purchase additional signage and mounting equipment in the amount of $734,992.87. The project scope included all materials, equipment, labor, and incidentals necessary to install street sweeping restriction signage throughout the City. Signs were installed on existing streetlights, existing signposts, or new Unistrut signposts placed in concrete or dirt, depending on site conditions.

On February 4, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2526, amending Chapter 22 (Traffic Regulations) to update street sweeping regulations and enforcement provisions. At the same meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-10, identifying when and where the “No Parking on Street Sweeping Days” regulations would be implemented.

On February 19, 2025, staff issued a Notice to Proceed to the awarded contractor for installation of the Citywide street sweeping signage. Signs restricting parking during the designated four-hour sweeping windows were subsequently installed across all applicable areas.

On July 15, 2025, the City Council authorized the purchase of enforcement vehicles to support the updated program. This included four 2025 Ford F-150 trucks and two 2025 Ford Police Interceptors to be utilized by Public Safety as part of the enforcement fleet.

On August 19, 2025, the City Council directed staff to revise the program to an alternate-side, alternate-day street sweeping schedule. Council directed the Acting City Manager to negotiate an amendment to the agreement with Nationwide Environmental Services and return with the amendment for Council approval. Council also authorized the purchase of stickers to revise existing signage and directed staff to prepare a resolution updating parking restrictions associated with the modified program.

Finally, on November 18, 2025, the City Council accepted the completed work and authorized staff to file the Notice of Completion for the Street Sweeping Signage Installation Project (Project No. 25015).

DISCUSSION:

Staff met with the City’s street sweeping vendor, Nationwide Environmental Services, to evaluate potential alternate-side street sweeping routes throughout the City. These discussions focused on operational considerations such as City size, the number of sweepers required, coordination with existing trash collection schedules, staffing needs, and implementation logistics. Based on these factors, the maps included in Attachment No. 1 – Alternate Side Street Sweeping Maps were developed. The alternative route options presented in Tables 2 through 4 outline Citywide approaches intended to provide effective street sweeping coverage while accommodating residents’ daytime parking needs.

Under the proposed schedules, residents would move vehicles between sides of the street on designated days, allowing sweepers access to the gutter line while maintaining parking availability.

Due to the increase in street miles being serviced, transitioning from the current schedule to an alternate side street sweeping program would necessitate the purchase of additional street sweepers.

Table 5 identifies the number of sweepers required for each proposed option.

Table 5: Number of Street Sweepers for Route Options
Route Option Additional Sweepers Required Additional Costs Current Route 4 sweepers
Option 1 7 sweepers $1,650,000
Option 2 7 sweepers $1,650,000
Option 3 7 sweepers $1,650,000
The addition of new equipment would result in increased costs related to the purchase of street sweepers, as well as the staffing, training, and ongoing operation of the additional equipment. Expanded service levels would also require the hiring of additional Street Sweeping Enforcement Officers to ensure compliance with parking restrictions. This would include the procurement of additional parking enforcement vehicles and associated equipment.

For the program to operate effectively, it is recommended that at least one enforcement officer accompany each street sweeper for the duration of its assigned route. Each enforcement officer would be equipped with a handheld radio and uniform. In addition, each route would require a dedicated enforcement vehicle to follow the street sweeper, outfitted with City decals, emergency light bars, and in-car police radios.

A detailed breakdown of the associated enforcement costs for each option is provided in Table 6.

Beyond increased annual operating costs, several one-time capital expenses would be required to successfully implement an alternating-side street sweeping program. These include the purchase and installation of additional signage and mounting hardware, stickers to update existing signage, and the acquisition of additional parking enforcement vehicles. During the initial rollout of the program, the City installed approximately 4,585 signs. Due to limited access points in some neighborhoods, not all streets were posted during the first phase. Under the updated program, these locations would require individual posting, which staff estimates would require approximately 350 additional signs at an estimated cost of $15,750.

In addition, existing signage would need to be updated using specially produced adhesive decals designed to adhere to the current signs. During the initial evaluation of the alternate-side street sweeping program, decals were quoted at $16.60 per sign. Updating the 4,585 existing signs would result in an estimated procurement cost of $76,111, excluding installation labor. When combined with the procurement of approximately 350 new signs, staff estimates the total signage and decal procurement cost would be approximately $91,861.

In addition to material procurement, costs would be incurred for installation of new signs and application of decals to existing signage to reflect updated street sweeping days and times. Based on the initial street sweeping restriction installation, staff estimates installation costs of approximately $66.45 per new sign and $6.24 per sign for decal application. Installation of 350 new signs is estimated at $23,257.50, and application of decals to 4,585 existing signs is estimated at $28,610.4, for a combined installation cost of approximately $51,867.90.

Should the City Council choose to maintain the existing street sweeping routes or switch to an alternating side sweeping schedule, staff anticipates proceeding with a Phase 2 effort to reassess original sign locations. This effort would include relocating, consolidating, and installing additional signage along current routes to improve clarity and consistency. At this time, staff has not identified all locations requiring updates, and a cost estimate for this potential effort is not yet available.

In addition to signage and equipment costs, all three options would require a significant overall financial investment by the City. The Initial Capital Investment required to implement a program of this scale would also include the hiring and training of new parking enforcement staff, expanded resident outreach efforts such as mailers and community meetings, and potential temporary reductions in parking enforcement revenue during the transition period. On the operational side, implementation would require the purchase of two to three additional street sweepers, the onboarding and training of new operators, and the associated long-term costs related to employee benefits, vehicle depreciation, and increased consumption of fuel, tires, oil, and other consumables. Increased sweeping activity would also require additional 40-yard debris bins at the City Yard and more frequent use of roll-off hauling services for materials.

Staffing and equipment availability would also impact the program timeline. New street sweeper operators typically require approximately two to six months to become fully trained and operational. Once ordered, new street sweepers are estimated to take between 12 and 18 months for delivery. Similar onboarding and training considerations would apply to parking enforcement officers, further extending the overall implementation schedule.

Environmental impacts were also identified as a key consideration. An alternate-side or alternate-day sweeping program would require sweepers to travel the same streets multiple times per week, increasing vehicle miles traveled, fuel usage, emissions, and equipment wear. While street sweepers are regulated to capture particulate matter 10 microns or larger, more frequent sweeping would disturb smaller particles more often, increasing the potential for airborne dust. Additional emissions would also be generated by increased use of City vehicles for parking enforcement.

Increased sweeping frequency would contribute to greater wear on City streets due to the weight of the sweepers and the additional miles driven. More frequent dumping of debris would increase congestion and operational demands at the City Yard and result in more frequent roll-off truck activity. Debris that falls from refuse containers during waste collection may also remain on streets for longer periods, depending on the option selected.

Compliance with existing AQMD and NPDES regulations must be considered, and consultation with the appropriate regulatory agencies may be necessary to further evaluate these impacts. Visual and noise impacts are also anticipated to increase, as additional signage would be installed throughout the City and sweepers would operate more frequently in residential neighborhoods.

Finally, staff anticipates that transitioning to an alternate-side street sweeping program would require substantial public outreach to address resident confusion. Currently, both sides of each street have been swept on the same day. Moving to an alternate-side or alternate-day schedule would require ongoing education to ensure compliance. Despite outreach efforts, staff expects an increase in resident inquiries, complaints, and public feedback during and following implementation. While holiday scheduling impacts exist, they are anticipated to be less significant when compared to the financial, operational, environmental, and public communication challenges associated with the proposed change.

LEGAL REVIEW:

The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the staff report.

OPTIONS:

The City Council has the following options:

1. Maintain the existing street sweeping schedule and routes, and direct staff to review current signage for potential citywide posting improvements; or

2. Direct staff to begin implementation of an alternate-side street sweeping schedule from options 2 through 4, including updating street sweeping signage and posting locations citywide; or

3. Provide an alternative direction.

Fiscal Impact
FISCAL IMPACT:

The table below summarizes the estimated one-time and recurring fiscal impacts associated with each street sweeping option in comparison to maintaining the current routes. Certain costs are applicable to all options, while others are dependent on Council selection, including the option to maintain the existing street sweeping program with no service expansion. It should be noted that should the current routes be maintained, or routes be switched to alternative sides sweeping, there will be costs associated with revising the current signage posting to remove excess signs, consolidate signage, and install additional signage to address resident concerns that have not been captured in the table below.

Additionally, staff anticipates purchasing new handheld ticket radars, which are estimated to be approximately $6,000 per radar. This purchase is still being reviewed by staff and is anticipated to be purchased at a future time.
